I don't think that's correct. I don't know Heather, but even I do more than one commission a year and I'm nobody. For a popular artist, they can for sure get a commission once a month, plus make sales from prints, patreon, and teaching. She probably does one a month and gets money from prints and youtube. I'm pretty sure Heather Rooney is a lady, btw.
The fine artists I know actually have a lot of repeat clients. A client might buy one of their artworks and then later hire them to do another one as a gift for a friend. There are also art collectors that are really interested in paintings and they will buy up and commission work from favorite artists just to have it. So you might be surprised how much repeat business you can get from a single client.
